Diaper and Wipe's Holder

A friend from church showed me how to do this cute bag for diapers and wipes and I done so many for baby presents..here are the supply list:

velcro 2 fat quarters fusible fleece
bias tape or 2” by 36” of fabric 2 1/2” by 12” fabric for strap
ribbon, buttons, ric rac for trim

 Instructions:

• Cut you 2 fabrics and fusible fleece 12 1/2” by 18 1/4”. Iron the fusible fleece to the fabric that will be showing when you are finished.
• Place your two fabrics with right sides facing each other. Sew along one short end. Open out and fold with wrong sides together and iron.
• Round out the two top corners. This will be the end that you did not sew together. I used a ribbon spool to draw around.
• Place a 2” piece of velcro (the soft side) 1 1/2” down from the top and centered. Pin in place and sew.
• Fold the bottom up six inches and then sew around all the raw edges. Use a very small seam allowance this will only be to keep all the fabric in place while sewing on the bias tape.
• You can make your own bias tape. You are going to do this for the strap and binding. Take your fabric and fold it in half length wise and iron. Open out and then fold each side to the center and iron. Then fold in half and iron. For the strap you are going to sew along the edge. Fold strap in half and pin it to the side of your bag. Stitch strap in place. Also you can buy the bias tape already made.
• You now need to put the other side of the velcro on the top of the bag. Make sure you don't sew it to close to the edge or it will be in the way of the bias tape.
• If you are going to embellish your bag now would be the time to do it. Add ribbon, buttons, etc.
• To finish up pin the bias tape all the way around the bag and repeat how you started the bias tape at the beginning. Sew all around the bag making sure to catch the bias tape on both sides.
• Next you are going to pull the strap out and sew it down so that it is facing the right direction.
• Add a bow if you want and you are done!
